Sharing some pics from my recent build.

Beautiful bro, congrats! Mine says Hi. I need to get my WG date window surround mounted, too many projects! Gen hands are so nice.

That pic was the inspiration for starting this build, absolutely love it!!

Not to rain on your parade, but that speed bump at the 6.......perfect otherwise

Good point, actually there is no concerning speed bump at 6. Depending on which angle you look and light hits, you get to see the lines on 6 or 18. Here is my QC from the base watch, you will not notice anything.

I guess I might have had a GMT 126719 WG fetish...sharing pics of my other recently completed project. I think Noob has done the blue dial very well.

Base is Noob v11 126719, gen crystal/hands, hybrid Noob/ARF bracelet and VR3185 fortified with a lot of gen parts.

Just to add, the Noob dial transitions from blue to black pretty well depending on light...

Lovely build mate, it looks incredible, enjoy it! Mind sharing who did the work on the build? Looking to do a GMT build soon myself. Cheers

Mike (Misiekped) did the Noob build and tickleshoes did the Meteorite. Can’t go wrong with either.

Hey folks
So I just received my ROF Batman, bit of mixed feelings if I'm completely honest, it's my first GMTII, I mean no doubt its a beautiful watch, the 18 transition is barely noticeable, you REALLY have to look hard to notice the low trans point. The crystal which I was particularly concerned about doesn't seem that bad tbh. The biggest let down I'd say is the bracelet, feels almost light and hollow, which is strange as I decided to weigh the spare links against the VSF smurf spare links, each link weighed in the at 3grams each, so I've no idea why it feels so light, thinking maybe I replace it with a ARF, if my TD can get hold of it for me. Anyone else have any experience with this ROF?
Here's a few pics of it.

Lovely watch mate, enjoy in good health!! ROF uses a Noob bracelet which have come a long way. Even though they weigh the same with VSF, the feeling of "light and hollow" is more of a "in your mind" issues. To preserve the SELs (ROF SELs are pretty good in my opinion) - keep the ROF permanent links and replace the screwable links and clasp with ARF. They blend in very well (have done it over 10 bracelets). Also consider sending your bracelet toJonj480 for a complete bracelet clean/polish/refinish. Jon does an amazing job. Good luck!!

Cheers bro! Yeah pretty happy tbh, was told the bracelets from Noob as the clasp code is T1G, at first i thought I'm being sent a Noob, but TD did confirm it's definitely ROF, looked at Trusty's QC pics of ROF which also has T1G.
I'll see how i get on with the bracelet for now, hear rumours of VSF releasing theirs by the end of next month, I'll see what the consensus is on that, might have to cop that as well

Does anyone know if it's possible to get a ROF with a jubilee? I only see them with oyster bracelets

ROF doesn't offer a jubilee. The VRF jubilee would likely fit as would the Noob but sourcing either separately from a TD right now would be difficult to impossible. Sometimes they come up on M2M sales.

Ah thanks, that's unfortunate then.

are there no GMT on jubilee available from any factory right now?

Sure there are plenty of full GMT watches with jubilees offered by factories - the other member wanted just a bracelet. You'll have to ask your TD about specific availability.

Hi guys,

I am considering to get a 126719 Pepsi with blue dial (i guess I really have kind of an addiction).

Anyway, I’d like feedbacks of the ones who went to ROF as I am seriously considering this factory since the fall of Noob. I have contacted Andrew from trusty who confirmed he can’t get anymore of 126719 from Noob since last raids.

So, pics and feelings about this ROF model would be very welcome.

Thx mates !

Cheers.

Here is a greenlighted QC of a ROF Pepsi I received recently for your reference:

Looks nice. I am looking for a 126719 with blue dial actually. Guess I will test the ROF through Trusty.
